    Recently met a surgeon specialist who was responsible for covering multiple hospitals in the area. Had 13 surgeries lined up waiting for her, after my friend, who she finished working on at ~midnight that day.

    Being important sure can have downsides.

      Yeah, can’t imagine the medical field anymore. You don’t get paid to treat the patient, you get paid by the job rate. And they schedule the hell out of you to make sure you’re profitable for them.
